Out of the Office

I am out of the office for a few more days taking my holiday. I will be back to work returning all emails and phone calls on January 4th. Wishing a Happy New Year to all!

{Janette & Tim} Wedding at Barr Mansion - Austin

I adored the wedding and the venue that I shot at recently. The Barr Mansion just ooooozes perfection, beauty and romance at every turn. I used to live right around the corner back in my UT days and would find myself taking long drives out on the country roads (yes, Austin was smaller back then) just to get a glimpse of this fantastic venue. Congrats Tim & Janette.....that was one of the best weddings I've ever attended! Enjoy the sneak peek!

{T-man & Family}

This is the second year I've had the opportunity to photograph this cute little guy and his beautiful family. I love the wide variety of expressions of a three year old! I'll save the family portrait for after Christmas. Here's the sneak peek:

{Chad & Cristl} Lake Wedding - Part I

This wedding was absolutely gorgeous and the flowers were soooooo amazing! I shot this a few weeks ago in a beautiful lake house on Lake McQueeney near New Braunfels. Everything was stunning and the reception was a blast! Here's a few for Chad and Cristl :

Big Sis & Newborn

I don't get to do many indoor sessions but I really enjoy the change when I do! This big sister was super proud to hold her two week old brother.....there was absolute joy on her face and lots of cheers from mom and dad! Congrats S Family!

{S Family} Sneak Peek

I had an awesome session with this great lookin' fab family of four the other day right here in Buda! Thanks for getting up so early with me, y'all!

{H Family} Sneak Peek

An early morning shoot in San Marcos was a peaceful backdrop for this big sis, little brother, mom and dad! I absolutely love the light through the giant trees first thing in the morning! Here are a few of their images.....

{G Family} Sneak Peek

I adored working with this family recently. You can feel the bond these awesome parents have with each of their blue eyed handsome boys. It definitely shows up in all of their wonderful images. Thanks for making the little ones grin so much K....that makes my job even easier! ;)

{Mini Accordian Brag Books}

I am happy to add to my product line with these AWESOME mini accordian style brag books! They are absolutely perfect for Christmas gifts or just a handy way to keep your latest images organized! And the bonus of these little 3x3 inch gems, is that they are magnetic! When you are done "bragging" with it in your bag, you can pop them on the refrigerator to enjoy! I have a special offer for new clients who'd like these books in lieu of traditional prints....stay tuned for more.....

Nostalgia

It's been a rough summer. I lost my father recently to a double whammy of Alzheimer's Disease and cancer. I miss him terribly. And, I've found I've become very nostalgic about so many things as I poured over pictures after he passed, of him and my family through the years. I grew up in the 70's and 80's so most our pictures are low quality and yellowing......but they are our pictures and I LOVE them. I am beyond saddened to have lost him....but, most of all I am saddened that my son only got to know him for a brief time. I love you Dad! And your grandson talks about you and knows that you are heaven right now keeping an eye out for us, Superman....

Julie & Robert

Hands down......the Allan House is one of the most perfect venues in Austin for a very classic and stylish wedding. Can't beat being near the Capitol either! More beautiful images coming soon. Congrats to Julie and Robert!
